More Than Tour Times Increases The Risk Of Cholesterol, Too Much Color In Jalebi Is Very Harmful
With the onset of the festive season, food and beverage merchants sell a wide range of food items. It is more important to eat fafda-jalebi on the occasion of Dussehra tomorrow, especially in jalebi and fafda is fried in inedible oil. A team from the food department of the municipal corporation checks the fafda-jalebi shops in the city, takes samples from the shops of such inedible traders and sends them to the food laboratory of the corporation. Whether the fafda-jalebi or the material used in it was edible or not, the result is obtained in a maximum of 15 days. There are no facilities or machines for immediate results of food samples taken and not valid as per FSSI rule. Hygienic can only be said to be fried four times in one oil. There is a risk of cholesterol from eating puffs fried in oil more than four times.
Strict action is taken against oils above 25 TPC as inedible
Dr. Bhavin Joshi, Head, Food Department, Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation, while talking to Divya Bhaskar about checking fafda-jalebi in the city, said that when the food inspector goes to the fafda-jalebi shop in the area allotted to him, he first checks whether the shop is registered and licensed. The oil used to fry the fafda is tested with a machine called testo to see if it is hygienic. If less than 25 TPC (Total Polar Compounds) oil is found in the test, it can be considered as edible and if it is more than 25 TPC, it can be considered as inedible, so action is taken against them.
Mixtures are tested in the laboratory
Samples of raw raw material like syrup, gram flour, ghee, oil, spices etc. are taken. A total of four samples of food items weighing 200 to 250 grams were taken, the money of which was also paid to the trader. One in four samples is sent to the corporation's laboratory at Navrangpura for testing. In the laboratory, the colors, the ingredients, etc. are tested. The remaining three samples are stored by the food department. Any sample that appears to be fit is destroyed.
Penalty of Rs 5 lakh or imprisonment for 6 months
Samples of food items taken etc. result in a maximum of 15 days. Misbranded, sub-standard and fail result in three ways. In case of mis-branded and sub-standard sample, the case of the trader is registered in the Ahmedabad Additional Collector's Office of the Resident Additional Collector and a penalty has to be paid there. The case goes to court when a food sample fails. The merchant has the opportunity to appeal and retest. Pay a charge for checking at a national level laboratory so that the sample is sent to the laboratory and action is taken against them as per the report received from there. The Food Safety Act provides for a maximum fine of Rs 5 lakh or imprisonment for six months if convicted.
Strict action is taken against those without food license
Regarding the mixture in fafda and jalebi, he said that saccharin, excessive color, inedible color is used especially in jalebi, while besan is used in fafda. The oil for frying the fafda is tested. From today, different places in the city are being checked for fafda-jalebi shops etc. Anyone who builds a pavilion on the road and produces and sells fafda-jalebi does not have a food license, so they will be prosecuted.
Instant oil quality testing with TPM machine
Total Polar Material i.e. TPM can be used to instantly check the quality of frying oil. The quality of the oil and whether it needs to be replaced is determined based on the readings of this machine. If the TPM reading on this machine reaches 20% then green light is given. This means that the oil still has the right quality for frying. But if the reading is in the range of 20% -25% then the orange light comes. Accordingly, the oil is still frying but it is desirable to replace it. When the reading is more than 25%, there is a red light, which means that the oil is no longer running and has to be replaced.
